Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Only sources are from the city's mayor office, a family genealogy website, and a "find a grave" website. My before search brought up even less than you usually see, with only seven possible hits on newspapers.com, and only 101 Google results total when you put his full name into quotes, mostly Wikipedia mirrors. I did try other searches as well and there's such a scarcity of sources I'm actually worried I missed something. SportingFlyer talk 05:06, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

- Delete. Melbourne FL is not large enough to hand all of its mayors an automatic presumption of notability WP:NPOL #2 just for existing — at this size of city, a mayor has to show enough coverage to clear WP:GNG before the article can be created in the first place, and it is not enough to simply assume that local media coverage of him exists somewhere nobody's bothered to actually look. But this isn't showing even one piece of the kind of coverage it takes to make a mayor notable. Bearcat ( talk) 17:56, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

- I accidentally revoted a second time, because I wasn't paying enough attention and didn't notice that one of the above votes was mine. Removing second comment. Sorry, y'all. Bearcat ( talk) 20:43, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
